Intended Use

The MAGNETOM system is indicated as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, displaying internal structures and/or function of the head, body, or extremities to assist in diagnosis. It may also be used during interventional procedures with MR compatible devices.

Technology

MAGNETOM Skyra Fit is a 3T MRI system upgraded from MAGNETOM Verio. It includes modified hardware such as updated covers and electronic cabinets, and software features like TSE MoCo (image-based motion correction) and automatic fiducial detection for breast biopsy. It also features a Fast GRE RefScan for faster calibration and uses software syngo MR XA50A.

Performance

Performance testing included image quality assessment with sample clinical images, bench tests of new and modified hardware, software verification and validation, and complete system electrical and mechanical safety tests. The tests demonstrated equivalent safety and performance to the predicate device.
